Among the more frequent TACT speakers were:  Julia C. Brown, Lola Belle Holmes, Leonard Patterson, Rev. E. Freeman Yearling, Sheriff Jim Clark, and Alvin D. Smith.  All but Clark were African-American.  However, none of the TACT speakers ever discussed discrimination and oppression of black Americans.  Instead, they focused exclusively upon what they claimed was "Communist" influence and control and domination within all our national civil rights organizations and their leaders.

It should be noted that the Birch Society welcomed life-long segregationists into its ranks as members, as chapter leaders, as Coordinators, as speakers and writers, and as National Council members.  It was especially appealing to the White Citizens Council movement and other white supremacist organizations and, in fact, many senior officials of the White Citizens Councils movement were JBS members.
